You'll all be begging for him to declare come January, and you'll be declaring him your binky.

I'm just making you all aware, I was first, as I was with Vollmer.

He's been discussed at length, and has been on my short list for a long, long time. Not sure he's reached binky status yet, but he's definitely in the top group of guys to watch. And the way he's started the season, he'll not only declare, he'll be a top 20 pick. I personally consider him the second coming of Justin Smith.

Also number one on my wish list but I think he'll go top 10. Only reservation with him is that he's dropped quite a lot of weight - I wonder whether this will detract from his abilities against the run. He's got 5.5 sacks so far this season I believe. Here's another ridiculous stat for you: Geno Smith has thrown more TD's than incompletions so far this season! Do I hear RGIII rise?

I think Vollmer's my claim to fame on here! Wes Bunting noted how fluid he looked in the Shrine Game practices a few years ago, I did some homework and he became insta-binky.

Just a shame his back is made out of sawdust. He's one of the best OT's in the league when he's on his game.

NE Pats Draft has been tweeting again tonight about this game, really looking forwards to it. It'd be just like Werner to have a stinker now! Gotta love the Germans though, they may be on to a loser when it comes to taking over the free world, but their people are amongst the most noble, hard working and reliable. Their sportsmen are phenomenal. If you're a soccer fan, you'll know exactly what I'm talking about.....

Having lived there twice (Dusseldorf and Berlin during the seventies [Soviet tanks etc]), I'm going to agree with you. Jokingly much maligned by the Brits but the Germans are as friendly a people as I've met.

My step-mother is German (my father was in the Army and was stationed in Dortmund in the 70's and 80's - when he came out he stayed over there and remarried) and she's adorable. I went over a few years after my dad had a heart attack, and I loved it. I really want to go again, along with the family.

Beautifull place. Astonishingly clean.

I was stationed in Mainz ~ Lee Barracks ~ and two of the best memories were getting lost in Mainz. One of them was downtown, and I roamed around, late at night ~ possibly in an inebriated glow ~ peering in the front of random storefronts that looked like they'd been there since 1327....and quite possibly had been!!

I actually have a 1/64th same blood 6th Cousin ~ we share the same Great Great Great Great Great Great GrandFather, give or take!! ~ who lives in DusselDorf ~ she's an Horse Doctor!! ~ who my Freulein and I visited, once...traveling down the Rhein and seeing Lorelei, HeidelBerg Castle, and all that is a trip I won't soon forget.

Box was one of the most vocal Vollmer supporters on this board prior to the 2009 draft. Man I miss him.

What ever happened to Box? The draft forum isn't the same without him. Last I saw he posted earlier in the year over at Patriots Planet, but I haven't seen anything since then. I hope everything is ok and he makes a mayo-like epic return because he was a great contributor.

I understand he had health problems, but I don't know the details. I PM'd him in May, but he never replied. There are far more important things than football and I hope first and foremost that he is well, or on the road to wellness. But I will always regard him as one of the best and brightest ever on this board, and I hope he is well enough to come back at some point.

There are quite a few 4-3 de types whom might be available when we pick. I like Ninko. But, he's not really suited for this new defense. Right now my first round possibilities are;
Werner
B. Mingo - LSU
S. Montgomery - LSU
W.Gholston - Mich St
J. Jeffcoat - Texas
D. Taylor - South Carolina
